The Benefits of Baobab Oil to Skin

Baobab oil is a fairly unknown plant oil, which is strange as it is absolutely amazing for skin. It has so many hydrating, nourishing and conditioning benefits for skin, and this is why we use it so much in our natural skincare. It is also incredibly anti-ageing to skin and so helps us to formulate the best anti-ageing skincare products.

How Baobab Oil Helps Skin

Baobab oil comes from the baobab tree which is native to Africa. This means that it is able to grow and prosper in extremely hot and dry conditions. This special plant is actually known as the Tree of Life, due to the way it stores water from the rainy season. It can even live up to 5,000 years, proving how strong and powerful it is. The seeds of the baobab tree are extremely nutrient rich, and so is the oil that is extracted from it. So, there is no wonder that is has such fantastic qualities. Here is a list of the benefits of baobab oil to skin which include hydrating, conditioning and all-round anti-ageing properties.

• Baobab oil is hydrating, softening and plumping to skin. One of the reasons is due to the naturally high occurrence of omega 3, 6 and 9 oils. These condition and hydrate skin cells deep down, plus preserve and enhance cell membranes.
• It is incredibly conditioning and regenerating for skin. This is due to the naturally occurring vitamins contained within the oil like vitamin A, B, C, D, E and K.
• We love the anti-ageing benefits of baobab oil. It even helps with skin elasticity; as it naturally contains special nutrients like oleic, palmitic and dihydrosterulic acid.
• Baobab oil is gorgeous for all skin. There is no need to worry about using baobab oil on oily skin types. It glides on skin beautifully and is not greasy or pore clogging, with a comedogenic rating of 2.

We hope that you found our feature helpful about how the many benefits that baobab has for skin, and this is why we use it so much in our face products. We absolutely love baobab oil and cannot believe it is not more widely known and honoured like other oils, such as Argan. That is not to say that a product without baobab oil in will also not be amazing. The important thing is to always use the best skincare products.

We hope that you can see why we love baobab oil so much. It is amazing that an oil extracted from the seeds of the fruit that blooms on the baobab trees, can have so many exceptional benefits for the skin. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and F, along with omegafatty acids, it's a potent natural moisturiser that promotes rejuvenation of skin cells, improves elasticity, and helps in reducing ageing signs like fine lines and wrinkles. Its antioxidant properties also protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by environmental pollutants , making it a versatile addition to your skincare regimen.
